Change compression in InnoDB

Registered by Vadim Tkachenko

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Column Compression with optional Predefined Dictionary" for updated plans.

The idea is to remove current compression logic in InnoDB totally, and instead to provide
compression per field, i.e
CREATE TABLE ( ... , comment VARCHAR(2000) COMPRESSED , ... )
